Misses Flora and Viola Glenn, two of
Atlanta’s most charming young ladies,
paid the Argus junior a call on Tues- j
day of this week, which was greatly ap
preciated. The Misses Glenn are spend
ing a short while visiting their father,
who has a flourishing school at Worth
ville, and after a few days will return to
Atlanta, where they have very important
positions in a large dry goods emporium
|of that city. Girls, your pleasant visits
I are always appreciated. Do call again,
won’t you ?
Dr. Buttrill desires to inform all mules
that he is not running a liyery stable,
and when they come to town they must
act more decorous, or he will have the
marshal lock ’em up. One day last
week, as he was fillin a prescription for
a dozen cigars, one of these pesky “var
miHts” sauntered into his nicely equip
ped drugstore, and after looking around
and inspecting his goods, quietly turned
and took his departure. As he didn’t
make his want# known, it is reasonable
to suppose that he wanted some stock
powders.
Mr. R. S. Rrown of the New York Store,
leaves for New York today, to buy asu-
perb stock of goods for the Carmichael
Cos. Mr. Brown has an experience of 20
years in buying goods, and all the cash
behind him a man could desire. Look at
this firm’s half page ad. in this issue aud
* you will be convinced that they mean
| business. The truth is, any business will
| advertise their bargains if they have any,
and this accounts for the big ad. the New
York Store always has m the Argus.
Keep your eye on their ad. aud save
money.
There was a meeting at the Methodist
church Monday night for the purpose of
revising the roll. Some time during the
services it was developed that the church
owed seventy-three dollars and fifty
cents. Mr. Asa Smith arose and said he
would giye fifteen dollars toward the
liquidation of the debt. The brethren
followed with teu aud five dollar dona
tions so rapidly that the money was
raised iu five minutes. We are glad the
Christian people of Jackson will not
allow the house of God to remain in
debt.
NEW LIW.
The Legislature at its last session passed a
law requiring all dealers who sell Loaded
Shells, Pistol or Rifle Cartridges, to pay a spec
ial tax of $25 per year. This includes all kinds
of Cartridges and Shell?. We learn that, Mr. A.
G. Hitchens, our hardware merchant, will pay
the tax, as he has a full stock of these goods,
though he says there is not twenty-five dollars
profit in handling SheHs and Cartridges. There
will be many true bins against merchants
under this law, if they continue to sell Cart
ridges. thinking it is the old law.

Proprietors of Tiio New 1 York Store, Jackson, Georgia.
Mr. R, L. Daughtry, chairman of the
finance committee of the Baptist church
of Jacksoh, stated last Sunday that the
church lacked $121.40 of being even with
its obligations. Mr, F. S. Etheridge
said he would give twenty dollars of the
amount, and the brethren began to call
out ten or five dollars at a jump, until
they ran over the amount in three min
utes, and there wex-e many who wanted
to give from one to five dollars to the
deficit who were actually crowded out.
It is gratifying to see brethren quietly
and willingly meet a duty thus.
A man in Butts county, who a short
time ago put his name before the people
of the county for the responsible posi
tion of tax collector, is not a subscriber
to the Arous, which i3 the county paper.
The people wisely refused to giye him
the office, for a man who would be will
ing for our county to have its legal ad- 1
vertisiug done in some other connty, has
not enough county pride in him to fill
any office; and the man who fails to take
his own county paper is doing what
would bring that on the county if there
were enough narrow minded bigots to
follow him.
Miss Laura Morgan, who has a class in
the girls’ high school of Atlanta, and
who is a sister of our fellow townsman,
Mr. S. H. Morgan, was a party to a heroic j
marriage last Sunday evening. She was
eugaged to Prof F. B. White, and he is j
quite sick. Miss Laura conceived the |
idea that her care and immediate atien- !
tion WAmld soothe the sufferings of her
lover, and with that, true devotion for
which our southern girls are famous, she
I married the man to wait on him and help
I him iuhis affliction. Such Ruth like de
! votion should be honored by all loyers
of true heroism. The Constitution has a
half column story about the matter iu
which it highly commends the action of
! Miss Morgan.
A CARO.
Editors Argus:
Please give me space to express my
gratitude to the good people of Jackson j
for their liberal donations to myself and
family in our late misfortune. I owe
them a debt of gratitude I feel I can
never repay. Respectfully,

WATCH THIS SPACE FROM NOW ON!
Our Mr. Brown Will Leave For
New York and other Eastern Points today to
purchase the Spring stock for the NEW YORK
STORE.
| On account of our buyer’s long experience in the buying and
selling ol high class Merchandise, we can promise our customers
and trends as pretty a stock of Spring Goods as has ever been
! our pleasure to show. It has been our aim always to keep in the
j front rank, and always up to date, in securing the newest and
| best things for our customers that the market affords, and with
j each succeeding year the success, and encouragement we have re
! ceived from the people of JacKson. Butts county, and our neigli
| boring counties in patronage, enables us to furnish the people with
j all lines of goods at the lowest prices, in fact, much lower than
j they can be bought in large cities.
In the purchase of this spring’s stocK we are going to endeavor to outstrip all former efforts in
securing Ihe prettiest designs, newest weaves, and the most select patterns in ou'r Dress Goods De
partment, with an eye single to the interest of the people.
Our Millinery Department.
Will be better equipped than ever, in the way of polite and genteel treatment. Mrs. C. R. Gresham
will have charge of this department assisted by a New York lady of refined manners and excep
tional qualifications as a trimmer, having had all the advantages of millinery 7 that can be learned
from having worked for the largest millinery concerns in New York and Baltimore. Our new
trimmer will buy our stock of millinery before she leaves the East, and we can promise our lady
friends that for style, quality and prices, we cannot be excelled anywhere. Our trade demands the
very latest stvles, the best qualities, and the lowest prices, and we are in a position to accede to
their demands. We promise you that we will leave nothing undone to merit your patronage and
good will.

The great ball of fire which passed
over Atlanta on the night of the 13th
instant, causing an intensely brilliant
illumination, burst directly over Sinking
mountain, near Tallulah Falls. The
report startled the whole country and
the concussion waR like an earthquake
shoek. The fissmes iu Sinking moun
tain were greatly enlarged and many
trees on the brink of the landslide fell
into the sink. A party of ’possum
hunters, stopping with “Aunt Fanny,”
the famous moonshiner, were near the
spot and witnessed the explosion of the
fiery sphere. The next day they returned
to the locality and found a large amount
of mineral debris, a coil of what ap
peared to be electric wire and other cu
riosities. The only way in which it dif
fered from the common little meteor we
see nearly every night was in size, ft
was a very large meteor.
Burglars.
The boys “got in” then work at Jen
kinsbuig Sunday night. They again
j broke into the store of Whitaker &
Childs. The only thing missed to date
is some tobacco and a few shirts. The
money of the firm was in the Jackson
bank. The robbers were regular pro
fessionals, as was proven by a tool they
left behind them, with which they cut
the iron bars.
We Will Welcome You.
Following is a letter received by us
one day this week from a dissatisfied
settler in far off lowa, and those hayi ig
lands for sale might do well to drop
him a letter of information, as we have
done, thus showing our hospitality to
new comers:
J. G. McDonald, Esq., Jackson, Ga.:
Dear Sir—l am thinking of locating in the
South, and would like to know something of
the prices of farm lands, products, wages of
farm laborers, etc. Is there an opening for a
i good Business College ? I know what the land
is around Jackson and Indian Spring. My
father was a resident of Butts county at one
time, I believe until 1856, and I have heard
much about that and Henry county, hut do not
know what changes have taken place since
then. If I locate, it will "be with a colony com
posed of the best of young men, with ample
means. If lam satisfied with the information
I will come down and look over the country
this spring. I will want about 1,200 acres of
good land, with pasturage. Please let me hear
from you at your earliest opportunity.
Yours truly, F. M. Bookhart.

A Haunted House.
The hobgoblins will get you if you !
don’t watch out. A mile from town
there is a haunted house. It is on the
farm of Mr. W. M. Mallet, and occupied
by negroes. Tl>e pillows fly across the
room and the chairs turn somersaults
over the floor, say the negro occupants.
We will investigate the matter and let
our readers know whether it is a male or
female, black or white ghost.
Tl*e New Court House.
We hope that our grand juiy next
week will recommend the building of a
new court house for Butts county. If
there is an improvement of any kind
which will add more to the material in
terests of our town and county than a
new court house, we are at a loss to de
termine it. It is only a question of a
few years when one will have to be built,
and it is our opiuiou that it can be done
cheaper now than at any other time.
The present structure, with its many in
conveniences, should be torn away and
anew and commodious building erected
in its stead. Bonds can be issued, and
the railroad tax for the next ten or fif
teen years will be sufficient to pay all
expenses incurred in so doiDg, without
levying one cent of tax upon a resident
of Butts county. A large p irtion of the
money expended for labor, etc., will find
its way to our merchants here at home,
and thus, besides giving the residents of
our county a handsome court house, it
will in a measure aid iu relieving the
stringency of money now so noticeable
in our midst. Now is the accepted time
to make a move in this direction, and
we feel assured that the grand jury
drawn for next week will see it in the
same light.
If your paper has a blue pencil mark
on it next to the article headed “Last
Notice,” you may know that your
time has expired, or you owe us for
back subscription. Now, please give
this your attention.
